County Kerry, Administrative county in Munster, Ireland.
Kerry extends over 4,807 square kilometers along the southwest coast of Ireland, featuring mountains, peninsulas, and 886 kilometers of Atlantic coastline.
The county name derives from Cíarraige people who inhabited the region, and its formal establishment occurred in 1232 as part of a grant to Desmond Earls.
Kerry maintains two Gaeltacht regions on Iveragh and Dingle peninsulas where residents actively speak Irish, with 40.2 percent of the population speaking the language.
Kerry County Council manages five municipal districts: Corca Dhuibhne-Castleisland, Kenmare, Killarney, Listowel, and Tralee, providing public services across the region.
The county contains Ireland's highest peak, Carrauntoohil, measuring 1,039 meters, and encompasses the Skellig Islands with their medieval monastery structures.
